| MOPOW051 | High Level Control Command for ThomX Transfer Line | 830 |
|
||
| ThomX Compact X ray source is a 50 MeV storage ring, and a linear accelerator based on a photo-injector. As the electron beam in the ring will not be damped by synchrotron radiation, the transfer line should rely on a precise injection in the ring. In order to fulfill this requirement, especially in terms of optics function and orbit correction, different tools have been prepared and tested on the accelerator toolbox of Matlab Middle Layer. We will present the different tools and the underlying physics for the ThomX transfer line. | ||

Funding: Work is supported by the French Agence Nationale de la Recherche as part of the program EQUIPEX under reference ANR-10-EQPX-51, the Ile de France region, CNRS-IN2P3 and Université Paris Sud XI ThomX is a compact Compton based X-ray source under construction at LAL in Orsay (France). The ThomX facility is composed by a 50-70 MeV linac, a transfer line and a 18 meters long Storage Ring (SR). The Compton scattering between the 50 MeV electron bunch of 1 nC and the 30 mJ laser pulses stacked in the Fabry-Perot cavity results in the production of photons with energies (up to 90 keV) with a maximum flux of 1013 photons/s. The ThomX construction will start shortly aiming to be completed in the middle of 2017. The preparation to the SR commissioning as far as a control system and beam physics applications are concerned is progressing gradually in order to prepare and test all the tools well ahead the start of the machine. The SR commissioning will face with many challenges providing the low energy, compactness, the nonlinear beam dynamics, the limited beam storage and need for the precision and stabilization in the Interaction Region. Several techniques used at the Synchrotron Light Sources should be modified/adapted to meet all the specificity of the ThomX. This is a report on preparation of the ThomX SR commissioning, its status, planning, main challenges and expectations. |

| TUPMB002 | Status of THOMX Storage-ring Magnets | 1100 |
|
||
| The THOMX facility is a compact X-Ray source based on the Compton back scattering aiming at a flux of 1011 to 1013 ph/s in the range of energy from 40 to 90 keV. Due to the compactness and the expected stability of this machine, high requirements are set for all magnets in terms of design and manufacturing. First, the design optimization of the magnets is presented, leading to high performance in terms of harmonics. Issues regarding the cross-talk between quadrupole and sextupole fields are then discussed. | ||
